Will Smart Balls help me with the pain post childbirth as well as with the bladder control?

I recently gave birth to my first child, 2 and a half month ago, through a vaginal labor. Since then I have been feeling sore in my pelvic floor, like a muscular pain. I have also noticed some incontinence.

Pregnancy and the birthing process can result in soreness and we would recommend not using the Smart Balls until this pain has gone away.

A pelvic floor physiotherapist - often linked through your local hospital - can do an examination and assessment if you are still experiencing pain in 4-6 weeks time.

It could be a number of things including bruising, stretching, tearing or muscle spasm. Two an a half months is not a great deal of time from giving birth which has been likened to an extended boxing fight.If possible, keep heavy lifting to a minimum for the next 2-3 months at least.

The Smart Balls can definitely help with the bladder issues, so come back to us if you are still experiencing bladder weakness once you are fully healed
